@underwatermagpies @Seagoon_ The only thing about Uniqlo is that their sizes all tend to run a *lot* smaller than most other stores.
Normally wear a medium?
Okay, at Uniqlo you'll want to try a large and an extra large.

But yep, so much cheap crap out there. Itâs really alarming. Itâs not just ripping people off but also filling up landfill.

the worst thing is that it mostly effects and exploits the poor but most items are shittier now
I talked with my cobbler and he was telling me midas shoes have become bad quality in general. The leather is bad quality and workmanship not as good, itâs barely worth it to have them repaired. I still buy them because they have wide fittings and donât look like little old lady shoes . đ¤ˇââď¸

Iâve found that with most shoes. My newbalances started disintegrating 6 months in without much use. After a year and a half ish, they have mostly disintegrated. Soles flapping off, the little liner things on the inside sole has worn through, the little rubber flaps that fold from the sole up to the fabric at the end of shoes fell apart. Some of itâs probably fixable with a bit of super glue, but I shouldnât have to super glue shoes after 6 months of use. I found the same with Nike airs and a pair of asics
I do have a pair of work boots I got for like 70 bucks from Kmart 2 and a half years ago that are still kicking though. Theyâre completely unbranded, but the only thing wrong with them is the Velcro strap on the side has detached from the rubber of the shoe. I donât mind fixing something like that after 2 years, as long as the whole shoe isnât disintegrating
